The Village of Blowing Rock: Exploring Our History

Responding to popular demand, the Museum and the Blowing Rock Historical Society are proud to present this collaborative, permanent exhibition exploring the history of the town of Blowing Rock and its place in the High Country.

Blowing Rock, referred to by many members of the community as "The Village," has a recorded history tracing back to the late 1800s and has defined the cultural landscape for generations.

Since the town has many stories, a section of this exhibition will be revisited regularly to focus on different areas of Blowing Rock's history.

This permanent display resides in the Museum's upstairs gallery, named in honor of Virginia ("Ginny") & David Stevens of the Blowing Rock Historical Society.

Special thanks to Dr. Andrea Burns and Trent Margrif for guest curating the exhibition.
